Yes the purpose is only to generate traffic; therefore I view it as splog. Number 1 rated blog?

I guess it will be up to Blogger to decide. As part of Blogger's ongoing efforts to combat spam blogs, they have automated classification algorithms, which determines whether a blog is potentially spam or not.

Do you not have google ads on that blog?
